Description
This handy series helps your children learn basic life skills. These ready-to-use lessons cover a variety of topics that are useful daily. Each 60-page book includes the teacher/parent instruction and activity pages with examples for the students. These are also reproducible for family or classroom use.
The content is based on Bloom's Taxonomy and a quick overview of the philosophy is shown in the front of the books. These books are written at level 3 of the Taxonomy: learning to apply what they have read, remembered, and understood. A list of vocabulary words is printed at the beginning of each book and activity pages include a variety of exercises - short answer; fill-in-the-blank; complete the chart; true false; multiple choice; crossword; word search and more. A comprehension quiz and answer keys are found toward the back of each book. Mini-posters are also included in the back, great as prompts for your visual learners.
These would be helpful for struggling learners or students with special needs who need practice with life skills. They are written to be high-interest, but at an easier reading level. ~ Donna
